I am in love with the Tea-time tea steeper for its intuitive design and simplistic interaction between tea leaves, water and steeping time! A flipping action, akin to starting the timer, sets the tea making process into action. Loose tealeaves and hot water do their steeping business and the ready tea slowly trickles down to the bottom beaker. The timer/filter hold back the leaves and your cuppa is ready to sip!
A point to note is that designer Pengtao Yu has used a spring loaded timer to keep the product low-tech and traditional.

Have you ever wondered why tea cups at asian restaurants have no handle? The handless tea cup has been around for centuries and is ingenious… if liquid inside a cup is too hot to drink, you will be able to tell because you will not be able to handle the cup! Therefore, with this prefectly executed design, you would not need to worry about burning yourself if you wait until it is “touchable” before disassembling the two parts. This design is beautiful AND functional. I want one too. PERFECT design. Elegant. Genius!! Please update when this finds its way to market! Thanks!!
I want this! you guys should sell this on your site so people can buy it 🙂 I’d probably buy a couple for me and some for friends!!!
This is so stupid awesome. If anyone finds out more about the product being sold please share.
I would love to see a similar concept applied to a large travel thermos so that you could brew a cup at a time all day with a single unit that has break away parts for the loose tea and a cup for drinking.
I think it would not work, because the tealeaves would block the flow…
I really like this blog and I want one,,,,,,,
Great looking like many other net concepts, but it will not work like many other net concepts.
The pressure build up aided by the hot/boiling water will make a decent seal very hard to achieve.
Elegant and simple design, just perfect!
DO WANT OMG I love whole leaf teas but I can’t afford or have need of a large steeper this is prefect How much is it yes I want one.
Please tell me where to buy this its perfect!
i love this very nice innovative tea pot…!
Wouldn’t the tea leaves block the flow of the tea?
genius.
not really as the leaves aren’t suppose to be packed in there.

Le fiere per il matrimonio possono essere un ottimo
strumento per farsi unidea precisa di ci che si vuole per il proprio servizio fotografico.
In Carmine Napolitano, wedding photography doesn’t simply record how
things look. Gli sposi sono molto pi rilassati in quanto non si sentono guidati
per tutto il giorno da un fotografo in cerca di immagini ed inquadrature impostate.
